Jaguar XFR-S Los Angeles Debut

A more powerful XFR – the Jaguar XFR-S – will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this month with a more aggressive body kit and 542bhp.

We’ve been expecting the arrival of the Jaguar XFR-S – a more powerful XFR – to take on the might of the latest M5 and E63 for some time, and Jaguar has revealed the XFR-S will get its debut at this month’s Lops Angeles Auto Show.

All Jaguar has felt fit to do at this stage is tease the XFR-S with a single photos (above) and no detail, but it seems probable the XFR will get the same sort of makeover to to create the XFR-S as the XKR got to give us the XKR-S.

That means a more aggressive body kit with new front bumper, bigger side skirts, new brakes, bigger alloys, a big spoiler at the back, interior tweaks, new colours and an uprated 5.0 litre supercharged engine that should be good for at least the XKR-S’s 542bhp, enough to push the XFR-S in to M5 territory.

But it won’t just be the world debut of the XFR-S for JLR at Los Angeles, as the American audience will also get their first chance to see the 2013 Range Rover (which only comes with the 5.0 litre petrol V8 for the U.S. market) and the new Jaguar F-Type, with the F-Type showing off a Black Performance Pack trim option.

Assuming details of the Jaguar XFR-S don’t turn up before, we’ll got proper numbers on the most powerful saloon car Jaguar has ever produced at the L.A. press day on 28th November.
